Israeli gunfire killed two people in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, marking the first reported fatalities from Israeli fire in three days, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. The incident occurred near Nabatieh, where Israeli soldiers reportedly opened fire on individuals near a road-clearing bulldozer. A fragile ceasefire between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israeli forces has largely held since Sunday. Iran has called for Israel to cease fire in Lebanon, and the U.S. signed an interim agreement with Iran. Talks mediated by Pakistan and Qatar resulted in an agreement to create a 'de-confliction cell' to ensure adherence to the termination of hostilities in Lebanon.
